Franzi's Canada Blog: Week 10: My first trick or treating!

Week 10:

It was the week of Halloween and my highschool A.N. Myer planned a "Halloween-theme week". On one day, the myer students were asked to wear orange and black for Halloween, there was a cake-selling in the cafeteria and a party.

On Thursday, I celebrated my first Halloween. I carved a pumpkin and dressed up for school. My costume was a doctor like at the Rotary weekend. Unlike Austria, nearly all north American students dress up for halloween in the craziest costumes I have ever seen. There was even a school-contest for the best costume at Myer!
In the evening I went trick or treating with my best canadian friend. I am sure we were the oldest kids asking for sweets. The kids we saw wher enot over 8 years old. :)
I counted my candy, I got over 160 chocolate bars, chips bags and candy! All the canadians were so friendly and even let their doors open to hear the kids shouting "Trick or Treat!" . I heard that the "Trick or Treaters" only go to houses which are decorated for Halloween, beccause that means that they will have some candy. It was fun and many people had their houses decorated! In my street, most of the kids come because of the huge houses. Many rich people live in my streets, so the kids already know that they get fancy sweets like apples covered with candy and chocolate or other self-made sweets! My hostmum counted over a hundred kids!
The whole night it was pouring like in movies, but my friend and I stayed strong and came soaking wet and tired home. We had so much fun!!
